Rønshoved Højskole

Common & classic
Rønshoved højskole (founded 1921) is one of the few remaining common classic folkehøjskoler (Folk High Schools) in Denmark. That implies that we build upon the core virtues of Grundtvig (1783-1872); Life enlightenment and enlightenment of the people.

About the school
